Commercial Support

Community support can be great, and with the Octave community it
often is, but sometimes you need to know that your question will
be answered. We maintain a list
of people and organizations who offer commercial support
contracts for Octave. This list is available as a service to
the community and the support providers. The Octave project does
not provide endorsements or recommendations.

User Community

There is an active user community centered around Octave.
Please understand
that the people answering your question on the mailing list or IRC
channel, or helping to fix the bug you reported are doing so as
volunteers.

Documentation

Reference Manual

Octave is fully documented by a comprehensive
800 page manual.

The on-line HTML
and PDF versions of the manual are
generated directly from the Texinfo source files that are
distributed along with every copy of the Octave source code. The
complete text of the manual is also available at the Octave prompt
using the doc command.

A printed version of the Octave manual may be ordered from
Network Theory,
Ltd.. Any money raised from the sale of this book will
support the development of free software. For each copy sold $1
will be donated to the GNU Octave Development Fund.
